Administrative data

Endpoint:
acute toxicity: oral
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
Not reported
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
Although this pre-dates international guidelines for acute oral toxicity studies and GLP, in accordance with REACH Annex XI, Section 1.1.2, the study was conducted under sound scientific principles of acute toxicity studies. The study is therefore considered adequate for contributing evidence towards this endpoint in a weight of evidence approach.
